9794 – Saturday

BHK and I stopped off at the flea market on the way to study at the library – picked up a nice fedora for $5. (see icon) comfy and it fits. Also got a rock heater for my back and/or BHK’s feet

ATW is especially freaky today – he’s being hunted by some giant clown phantom. Probably a cannibal.

Llamas off the side of the road, and a huge beetle when we got home!

Opera 10, available for download now, is looking pretty keen – certainly one of the faster browsers I’ve used in a while. Under the chrome, much of Opera 10’s focus is on speed. Already no slouch when it comes to page rendering, an overhaul in the JavaScript engine means that intensive web apps like Gmail or Facebook load and respond considerably faster in Opera 10. In fact Opera, claims that the new beta has a 40 percent speed gain over its predecessors.

What the heck ….

Forgot to post this yesterday –

0621081520a.jpg
ATW man Crabbing.

First thing we did today was view Swarm of the Snakehead at 1 am, when BHK woke from her Pizza Hut induced torpor “nap”.

We weren’t disappointed. Swarm of the Snakehead was exactly what we were looking for (and didn’t get) when we went to see Grindhouse. A fun, cheesy, “bad in a good way” sort of horror flick. It’s most certainly more a comedy film than horror, despite the periodic moments of gore. I’d love to see this on a large screen somewhere, or better yet as a movie shown outside, on the beach… maybe projected on the side of a large white building.

Head and shoulders above any other made for Sci-fi channel stuff, ten pound would likely do quite well to shop the film to them, or a similar venue.

I may be a bit biased, because it was filmed right nearby, primarily in Easton and Oxford – a hoot picking out local spots.

I can’t believe that Gunnar Hansen was both Leatherface and the “Quint from Jaws”-style Fisherman! There’s range for you!

I think I’ll write up a much longer and nicer review of the movie soon – I want to get some input from BHK about her perspective on the film, too. I’d say it was the highlight of our weekend, though.

After the delightful midnight movie with BHK, we tucked back into bed, and snoozed… I’d say we got up and out of the house by 11ish.

Polished off the last of the croissants from the farmer’s market (I had chocolate, she had almond), BHK decided to venture forth to Aardvark and grab our waiting games. Mike and Tara were out, but the employees were swell to us.

The day was gorgeous and since we wer euntethered by any other family responsibilities (in-laws took tigger to Salem for a long weekend), we meandered around Southern Maryland, looking for a nice new spot to grab some lunch and just enjoy each other’s company.

After much tooling around of St. Mary’s, we eventually ended up at the Reluctant Navigator. After eating there, I understand his reluctance. The food was somewhere between meh and ok. Service, not bad – environment when we first walked in the door was “we’ve made a terrible mistake” but after getting past the foyer filled with old boat motors, chainsaws, and crab traps covered in dust, the clean dining area changed our tune to “oh, this is probably all right.” I’d put the food at medium-low quality. somewhere in the 3-5 out of 10 range. I seriously doubt that we’ll be back, unless something amazing causes us to return.

We continued on our journey, with food in our bellies – after putting some petrol in the tank, we wandered into Cecil’s Old Mill, a general store and post office – pictures to follow sometime after I upload ’em. Meanwhile, check out what somd online has to offer. When I saw the logs in place, I had two thoughts. first – that’s perfect for an old movie villian to strap a maiden to, and let the hero try to save her while he gets away. The second was the gravity gun usage in last night’s HL2.

The old post office was my favorite, though. Lots of memorabilia everywhere.

We bought a pair of homemade brownies and a diet pepsi, and toddled on home, to water our plants right before a huge, thunder-filled rainstorm.

We had tasty sammiches for dinner, and watched our last tivo’ed Monk – where he reunites with his pop. Not a bad character dev show, but a lousy mystery solution. “We found the tie!”

Now, bedtime. Gnitght, dear journal. Have some lovely linkies.

Just so you know that your family isn’t so bad, dear journal –

‘Cannibal relatives ate boy alive’

A seven-year-old boy was kept chained in a closet as relatives hacked off pieces of his flesh to eat, a court has heard.

In a case with echoes of the Fritzl family horror in Austria, Ondrej Mauerova was partially skinned in the closet in a cellar at his home in Kurim near Brno, in the Czech Republic, according to reports.

The abuse – involving members of a religious cult – was uncovered by chance last May when a neighbour’s television baby monitor picked up graphic pictures of what was happening next door.

Ondrej and his nine-year-old brother Jakub were locked and chained in the cellar for months by their mother Klara, 31 – a member of a group called the Grail Movement.

He was caged, beaten and gagged to stop him screaming, according to reports.

Mauerova had the monitor installed so that she could watch the abuse from her kitchen but the images were picked up by a neighbour who used an identical system to monitor a newborn baby, the regional court in Brno has heard.

Police were called and the two boys as well as what appeared to be a 13-year-old girl were freed.

But the girl later turned out to have been one of the alleged abusers, 34-year-old Barbora Skrlova.

She subsequently fled to Norway before being brought back to the Czech Republic earlier this year.

Mauerova has admitted abusing her children but she said she had been manipulated by Skrlova and her own sister Katerina.

The accused are Klara Mauerova, her sister Katerina, 34; Barbora Skrlova, 33; her brother Jan Skrla and a friend Jan Turek.

Humpday! Midweek, and it feels it. I was happy to rediscover that we get President’s day off next month… Three-day weekends are a wonderful thing. Added bonus is that my b-day falls on a weekend this year, so that Saturday is mine, all mine!

BHK and Cathy got together today to do more straightening and space management at the house. One recent change is the move of the love seat from the office to the living room… newtcam archives show that Pye doesn’t seem to mind the change of pace.

Maybe we’ll have room for some bookcases under the North-face windows, with the tops clear for kitty-climbing and general sunning.

Poor Pye must be a little chilly in that picture – he’s all fluffed out. Cold, or resting off a horsing around match with Newt.


“After eight years and some $65 million, the state of Maryland is taking its first steps to return to an accountable, paper-ballot based voting system. Governor Martin O’Malley has announced an initial outlay of $6.5 million towards the $20 million cost of an optical system which will scan and tally the votes while the paper ballots are retained as a backup. The new (or old) system is expected to be in place by 2010 — or four years before the state finishes paying off the bill for the touch-screen system.”


Had a bit of a nightmare about using the walker last night. Forgive my recycling of old doodles. Dreamt of being poked and prodded, cut open and stapled shut.

I’ve already had two surgeries.. one in 1994, and another in 2003.

Makes me twitchy, just thinking about it. After being cut up, I had to go shopping for tennis balls to put under the walker’s feet.

Now I’ve got the phrase / title Walker, Texas Ranger stuck in my head.

Milton Blahyi, a former feared rebel commander in Liberia’s brutal civil war, has admitted to taking part in human sacrifices as part of traditional ceremonies intended to ensure victory in battle.

He said the sacrifices “included the killing of an innocent child and plucking out the heart, which was divided into pieces for us to eat.”

There had been numerous rumours of human sacrifices during the 1979-93 conflict but this is the first time anyone has admitted publicly to the practice.

Mr Blahyi, 37, is better known in Liberia as “General Butt Naked” because he went into combat with no clothes on, to scare the enemy.

He is now an Evangelist preacher, who prefers to use the name Joshua.

LIMA (AFP) – Villagers in southern Peru were struck by a mysterious illness after a meteorite made a fiery crash to Earth in their area, regional authorities said Monday.

Around midday Saturday, villagers were startled by an explosion and a fireball that many were convinced was an airplane crashing near their remote village, located in the high Andes department of Puno in the Desaguadero region, near the border with Bolivia.

Residents complained of headaches and vomiting brought on by a “strange odor,” local health department official Jorge Lopez told Peruvian radio RPP.

Seven policemen who went to check on the reports also became ill and had to be given oxygen before being hospitalized, Lopez said.

Rescue teams and experts were dispatched to the scene, where the meteorite left a 100-foot-wide (30-meter-wide) and 20-foot-deep (six-meter-deep) crater, said local official Marco Limache.

“Boiling water started coming out of the crater and particles of rock and cinders were found nearby. Residents are very concerned,” he said.


Some gruesome news:

CARACAS (Reuters) – A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy.

Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his face.

“I woke up because the pain was unbearable,” Camejo said, according to a report on Friday in leading local newspaper El Universal.

His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband’s body only to find him moved into a corridor — and alive.

Reuters could not immediately reach hospital officials to confirm the events. But Camejo showed the newspaper his facial scar and a document ordering the autopsy.


The forensic expert called to examine the willing victim of German cannibal Armin Meiwes has written a book about his most bizarre case. He recalls his horror at seeing the four-and-a-half-hour video Meiwes made of the killing and disembowelment.

Forensic expert Manfred Risse will never forget the day he was called to examine the contents of Armin Meiwes’ freezer. The German cannibal (more…) had killed a man who had begged to be devoured, chopped him up into meal-sized portions, and eaten about 20 kilos (44 pounds) of him.

The 2002 killing and subsequent trials made global headlines, and Meiwes is assured a prominent place in the dark annals of murderous perversion. Risse, 53, deputy head of the forensic institute in the central German city of Giessen, has just written a book about the case and has spoken about it for the first time in an interview with Focus magazine.

About examining a severed foot, Risse writes: “Meiwes had placed it on a plate, stuck a knife and fork in it, added sauce, took a picture of it and posted it on the Internet.” Risse also had to scrutinize around 30 packets of flesh, some of them labelled. “One read ‘Neck Filet, 10/03/01,’ and other labels reminded me of supermarket labels, for example ‘Minced Meat With Sauce.'”

Risse recalls the horror he felt when he watched the four-and-a-half hour video Meiwes made of the killing and subsequent butchering.

“I got sweaty hands for the first time in my career; shivers ran down my spine” said Risse. “I’ve been doing this job for 20 years, have carried out 5,000 autopsies and seen more than 30,000 corpses. In terms of nauseating and repugnant sights, the cannibal film burst the boundaries of what I had seen to that date.”

Meiwes, a computer repair man, had placed advertisements on the Internet seeking men who were willing to be “slaughtered.” Bernd Brandes, a 43-year-old computer engineer from Berlin, responded, and the killing took place in Meiwes’ rambling half-timbered house in the town of Rotenburg.

The infamous video was shown in court, but the media and public weren’t allowed to see it. One scene shows Brandes, already suffering from severe loss of blood after having his penis severed at his own insistence, saying: “If I’m still alive tomorrow morning, we’ll eat my balls.”

“It was a horrific scene,” recalls Risse. “I couldn’t believe that a man so seriously hurt could say a thing like that. It sounded like a bad comedy. But it was real.”

The video also shows Meiwes hanging up the body from a meat hook and cutting it up. “It was evident that Meiwes had no anatomical knowledge whatsoever. He couldn’t distinguish between the colon and the small intestine, didn’t know where the liver was and was astonished at the color of the meat. He said: ‘I thought it would be lighter. One learns from experience.'”

Risse’s book “Last Supper of the Murderers,” which can only be sold to adults, goes on sale in Germany on Sept. 20. He said he wrote it to show the public what really happened. “There’s always been cannibalism,” Risse said. “But the fact that someone wanted to have themselves be killed, slaughtered and devoured, is unique in the world.”

Meiwes had his sentence increased from eight and a half years to life in a 2006 retrial (more…) after the prosecution appealed against the initial verdict for being too lenient.

8905 – Friday the 6th

Lots done at work today… a good ending to the week. I have to get with CS first thing on Monday (or after she’s back) about streamlining more processes. I’m pretty pleased with the current learning curve and the gang there thus far.

Outside of work – Autorealm – reminder to self – investigate other uses.

Tonight, we’d planned on a visit to see Sweeney Toddbut the venue wasn’t up to the task of seating us. However, we may make plans make it easier in the future. (Thoroughly Modern Millie may have better odds.) instead, we wandered around Annapolis, had a lovely bite to eat at Davis’ Pub (the onion rings were especially to my liking) and then went to see the latest Die Hard movie. Not bad… took place in Baltimore / DC (sort of a one globby city) and had lots of explosions and beaten up Bruce Willis in it.

We also got to visit the Maryland Kwik-E-Mart – pictures will follow of this nifty bit-o-advertising later in the week. Our Clerks were I. P. Freely, and Mae B. Drunk.

I would really like to get this… (via ectoplasmosis )

Count Gottfried von Bismarck, who was found dead on Monday aged 44, was a louche German aristocrat with a multi-faceted history as a pleasure-seeking heroin addict, hell-raising alcoholic, flamboyant waster and a reckless and extravagant host of homosexual orgies…

The great-great-grandson of Prince Otto, Germany’s Iron Chancellor and architect of the modern German state, the young von Bismarck showed early promise as a brilliant scholar, but led an exotic life of gilded aimlessness that attracted the attention of the gossip columns from the moment he arrived in Oxford in 1983 and hosted a dinner at which the severed heads of two pigs were placed at either end of the table.

When not clad in the lederhosen of his homeland, he cultivated an air of sophisticated complexity by appearing in women’s clothes, set off by lipstick and fishnet stockings.

I’m not too fond of Chase’s character on House.


I’ve been working pretty hard lately… a lot of things on my plate. Work’s asking for a lot of things at once… I’m hoping it’s because folks are going away for a week, not because they expect it all done tomorrow. Updating three websites (designing two of them) editorial content on about a dozen or so pages and a lot of hardware fiddling.

Something’s on the wind about new hires at the office. Upgrades or replacements? Who can say? Scuttlebutt is that RS may be coming back full-time, too… I thought it’d take hammer and tongs to accomplish that. If it’s additional bodies, we’re going to need more room.


Note to self, get sized at Argenti’s After Work, and eyeball any tungsten stuff there.

It occurred to me this weekend that the term prophet sounds holy to me, but the term prophecy comes across as sinister, or fake.


Moment of lyric – mp3 (thank you, Firpo!)

{lyrics in braces need confirmation, due to the earliness of the hour and my poor sense of hearing}

Listen to me you explorers, Buck and Admiral Byrd,
Here’s a funny one you’ve never heard
there’s a fellow in the jungle
one you never knew
you won’t get him, but he might get you

Who’s the talk at every table from Chicago to Madrid?
Who’s the African Clark Gable?
Jojo, the Cannibal kid!

All the tribes eat fruits and berries
He’s the one that never did
He Prefers his missionaries
Jojo, the cannibal kid

He could aways pass on his manner and his savoir faire
Mix with every class – eat the finest people everywhere!

Circus sends him offers daily
{Bertram mills made him a bid}
but he’s holding out for Barnum Bailey,
Jojo the cannibal kid

Mmmmyeow…
Don’t you know? He eats them alive…
{gets the ??????}
eating out, from nine to five.

boom jigga boom jigga boom jigga boom boom
That is the Jojo way
boom jigga boom jigga boom jigga boom boom
that means he’s on the {train}

{Everybody run and get in the car, pull all the windows down
everybody find a safe place to closet}
Jojo is now in town

Who’s the talk at every table from chicago to madrid?
Who’s the African Clark Gable?
Jojo, the Cannibal kid!

All the tribes eat fruits and berries
He’s the one that never did
He Prefers his missionaries
Jojo, the cannibal kid

He could aways pass on his manner and his savoir faire
Mix with every class – eat the finest people everywhere!

Circus sends him offers daily
{Bertram mills made him a bid}
but he’s holding out for Barnum Bailey,

8242 – Walkies on Sunday.

Walkabout on Sunday was good, I got more color, but think I dodged the burn bullet again. The ball cap let my nose still get a little red, however.

I walked to Mizner Park, just to check out the place, and it’s fared for the worse. I used to live behind there, and liked it a lot… but now, there are no bookstores.. (liberties is gone!), the international museum of cartoon art has been gutted, and the two cool wacky-weirdo art stores have been absorbed by other type stuff. bleh.

I’d hoped to go to my old hangout, Beany’s, for a veggie-cheese sammich with the vinaigrette that I love so well… but sadly, it was closed, but just for Sundays.

I abandoned Boca’s blandness, and retreated to the bus stop (I was too bushed to walk for a bit), and rode back to Hillsboro… and then crossed over to the 94 and hit the Deerfield mall. I stopped off for a breather at the movies… caught “The Hills Have Eyes” and was surprised. It was better than I thought. (Make no mistake, it is about mutants killing people trapped in an out-of-the-way location, but it was done well for what it was.) Afterward, I stopped off at EB and picked up a copy of counterstrike:source on sale. I’m looking forward to playing multi with hav and kev once I polish my skills a bit.

Roaming area, (note, some was done by bus. I walked about another 8 miles.)

I made a lot of use of autostitch today, clicking on the pictures makes them larger, as usual.

Pictures from walkabout – I saw unicorns and turtles and dolphins and killer mutants

Answers to yesterday’s test.

1. The word “snausages!” said the proper way will make me bust a gut laughing. *FIB*

Though, it can make me chuckle. The old commercial of the dog poking his head out, exclaiming “SNAUSAGES!” can make me laugh, albeit briefly.

2. One of best high school friends was killed by a blow to the head from an iron frying pan, as a result of a car accident.

Brent Ashland. Coming back from a camping trip, freak accident. pulled up short behind another driver, slammed on his brakes, and the skillet brained him. That was that. He had a lot of potential, dumb way to exit.

3. I’ve accidentally poured cheetos in a bowl, poured milk over ’em, and ate a spoonful like cereal before realizing my terrible, terrible mistake.

Always pay attention to what’s in the pouch on top of the fridge. even when you’re six years old. Seriously.

4. I say thank you to automatic doors and street lights when they let me pass.

It’s an unconscious response. Preprogrammed manners. Plus, I saw Herbie the love bug as a kid, and Buddy Hackett talked about a street light that didn’t like him. I appreciate robots helping my travels comfortably and easily. When the machines take over, I’ll have a position of authority.

5. I’ve been published in both Popular Science Magazine and the Unknown Armies Hardcover RPG rules.

Yup. Livejournal actually got me in PopSci (11/13/2003), and UA has me in the credits as a rumormonger. (published August, 2002)


Lakini Malich has made a startling discovery that will change the way the world views the brain-rotting laugh vacuum Garfield:

If you remove Garfield’s thought balloons, it goes from an unfunny comic to a rather sad, poignant story about a lonely man who has wasted his life talking to his cat.

He offers a second collection:

Bear Days
On
Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29, 2005

Miami Metrozoo celebrates Bear Awareness Week on “Bear Days” Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29. Zoos across the country, libraries, nature centers, and other wildlife agencies recognize the integral role of bears in nature and advocate bear education in May.

The Metrozoo celebration will include additional Keeper Talks and enrichment activities especially prepared for the three kinds of bears in the zoo on both days.

  • 1:30 p.m. – Sun Bear: See them use their long tongues to extract honey out of holes in tubes!
  • 2:00 p.m. – Himalayan Black Bear: Watch him hunt and catch large fish caught here in the zoo lakes!
  • 2:30 p.m. – Sloth Bear: Observe him as he tears open a termite mound (made of paper maché) to eat wax worms, meal worms and crickets!

*Wild Republic Itsy Bitsies bear (For children 12 and under, while supplies last).


MP called me out of the blue yesterday afternoon just to say hi. That was brief, but nice.


Land Of the Dead! (thanks for the point, missv!)

MMm. I loves me some Zombies. I hope I can get some HuFu dumplings to snack on in time to see it.


Moment of Lyric:

And you get in your car and drive real far.
And you drive all night and then you see a light.
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground.
And out comes the man from Mars.
And you try to run but he’s got a gun.
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head.


GrayPumpkin is now up to episode 8 of the new Dr Who, and his opinions mirror my own pretty closely. So Far, I think the first three are still my favorites of the season.

Remixed from actual cigarette commercials, this little number is so catchy you’ll hear it in your sleep. Beware!
